What would a first person shooter be without weapons (Super 3D Noah's Ark)? Doom and Doom 2 had pretty impressive arsenals for early 90's games. Here are its weapons:

Fist

N/AOn ground

Your fist is the most basic (and worst) weapon in the game. It is a close-range weapon (believe it or not), and each punch is about as powerful as a pistol shot. As soon as you get the chainsaw, the fists aren't accessible. You can only use them when you get the berserk pack. If you run out of ammo and only have the fist, it's time to cheat.

Chainsaw

On ground

The chainsaw is the other close-range weapon, and it's much better than the fist. Really, the chainsaw is just a rapid-fire fist.

Pistol

N/AOn ground

The pistol is the least powerful long-range weapon. Its accuracy sucks, but it will still take out weak enemies with just a few shots. You have the pistol and 50 bullets as soon as you start the game.

Shotgun

On ground

The first good weapon. Fast reload, wide shots, powerful. The shotgun is seven times as powerful as the pistol, shooting seven pellets (one shell) with each shot. The shotgun works better at close range than long range.

Hmm... super... guess they thought it sounded better than double-barrel. Anyway, this is one of the best weapons. Twenty pellets (2 shells) per shot, but slower reload than the shotgun. It will kill most enemies fast. Also, it doesn't use up shells much, considering its power. The super shotgun is the only weapon added between Doom and Doom 2. It is one of the best weapons for taking out swarms of enemies. You can kill four or five Zombiemen in one shot!

Chaingun

On ground

The chaingun is just a rapid-fire pistol. The accuracy is the same as the pistol. This is the weapon to use if you're out of shells.

Rocket Launcher

On ground

The rocket launcher is really a special occasion weapon. The rockets inflict a lot of damage on weak enemies, the fire rate is good, and you can hold up to one hundred rockets! The rocket launcher is a good long range weapon, considering if you get too close to the blast radius of a rocket, you can die.

Plasma Rifle

On ground

The plasma rifle is by far the best weapon in the game. It has an extremely fast fire rate and the bullets go pretty fast. To give you an idea of what it can do, it can often take out a trooper in a single shot!

BFG 9000

On ground

The BFG is amazing... it combines 40 cells into one huge bullet that divides among all the enemies it can reach. It is perfect for taking out swarms of weak enemies, or taking out a few stronger ones. In the "In action" screenshot to the left, each green spot is killing an imp. (Guess what BFG stands for.)
